Balearic Islands to raise over 40 'Blue Flags' on beaches and marinas this summer

This summer, up to 749 'Blue Flags' will fly on Spanish beaches—two more than in 2024—including 642 on beaches, 101 for marinas, and six for tourist boats. This keeps Spain at the top globally for the number of distinctions awarded by the Environmental Education and Consumer Association (ADEAC).

In the Balearic Islands, 32 beaches across 14 municipalities will display the 'Blue Flag' this summer, promoting the responsible use of resources in nautical facilities and activities.

Additionally, the flag will also be flown at 14 marinas on the islands of Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza.

In terms of this summer's total number of flags, the Balearic archipelago ranks sixth for beaches and fourth for marinas. Furthermore, the lifeguard services of Palma and Sant Llorenç des Cardassar have received special mentions.
